Workshops and Training

Your leaders don't need another training session.
They need skills they can use today.

Every AGL workshop runs a complete learning cycle grounded in cognitive science and designed for sustainability. Participants leave with skills they apply immediately, not just knowledge they have to remember to use.

How AGL Workshops Work

Built to change behavior, not just awareness.

Most training programs stop at instruction. AGL workshops run a complete learning cycle because awareness without deliberate practice rarely produces lasting behavior change.

01

Educate

Facilitators present foundational concepts and frameworks grounded in research, drawing directly from experience applying them in real organizations.

02

Demonstrate

Facilitators model every technique before participants practice it. Participants see it done correctly, in context, before they attempt it themselves.

03

Practice

Guided exercises built from real scenarios that participants bring from their own organizations. Not fabricated case studies or role-plays that feel nothing like the real work.

04

Apply

Structured application plans translate session learning into specific actions that begin the day participants return to their teams.

01: Leadership Development

Develop leaders who grow other leaders.

Workshops focused on the skills that separate managers who direct from leaders who develop. Applicable from first-time managers through senior executives.

Coaching for Accelerated Performance

Develop your leaders' skills in holding performance conversations grounded in behavioral data. Specific, credible, and actionable. Designed for leaders who want more from their performance discussions than opinion and observation.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

Leadership Presence

How leaders carry themselves, listen, and communicate determines whether people follow. This session develops the visible, coachable dimensions of executive presence that either build or undermine credibility in critical moments.

Leadership Essentials

A foundational leadership program covering the core competencies every leader needs: self-awareness, communication, feedback, accountability, and how to build a team environment where people perform. Strong entry point for emerging and first-time leaders.

Additional programs available, including Quick Start and Defining Your Values.

02: Management Effectiveness

The skills that turn strategy into results.

For managers who carry accountability and need practical tools to lead through complexity, change, and resistance without losing the people around them.

Delegate Like a Boss

Delegation without accountability is just handoff. Participants build a complete system for deciding what to delegate, setting expectations with precision, and holding people to them without micromanaging or following up constantly.

Critical Conversations

The conversations most managers avoid are the ones that matter most. Participants learn a structured approach to delivering difficult feedback, addressing performance gaps, and navigating pushback without backing down or blowing up.

Change Management

Help your leaders stop fighting change and start guiding people through it. Built for organizations navigating restructuring, culture shifts, or strategic pivots that require leaders to carry others forward while moving fast.

Additional programs available, including Stepping into Accountability and Interviewing: Getting Below the Surface.

03: Communication and Influence

Communication that moves people, not just information.

Practical skills for leaders who need to influence, align, and develop others through conversation. Built on the same frameworks used across AGL's executive coaching engagements.

The Communication Trifecta

Builds the three foundational communication skills that determine how well your leaders listen, understand, and respond under pressure. Participants leave with a practical framework they apply in their next conversation, not a theoretical model they need to translate back to real work. One of the highest-rated sessions in the AGL portfolio.

Part of the TacComm™ series

The Conflict Code

AGL's neuroscience-based approach to navigating conflict without escalation or avoidance. Leaders learn to read the signals before conflict builds, redirect it in real time, and use it to produce better decisions and stronger relationships rather than damage them.

Part of the TacComm™ series

High Impact Communication: The 4 META Questions

One framework that changes how your leaders listen, question, and guide conversations toward better outcomes. Built on neuroscience and field-tested across thousands of executive coaching sessions. Participants leave with a tool they put to work the same day.

Additional programs available, including Power of Feedback and Communication Styles (paired with validated behavioral assessment).

04: Talent Optimization

Put behavioral insight to work for your people decisions.

Workshops that give leaders and teams the frameworks to understand, develop, and align talent based on validated data rather than observation alone.

What Drives People

Surface the motivators behind performance, engagement, and behavior. Gives leaders a practical framework for understanding what moves their people and how to put that insight to work in how they lead, assign work, and develop their teams.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

Maximize Team Performance

Apply behavioral insight to team dynamics, role alignment, and collective strengths. Surfaces what the team has, where the gaps are, and how to shift the system toward higher performance and better collaboration.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

Hire the Right Talent

Structure your interview and hiring process around what behavioral science says predicts performance. Pairs directly with AGL's Pre-Hire Selection service for organizations building a complete, data-informed talent acquisition system.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

Additional programs available, including Inspire People to Perform and Drive Results with Talent.

05: Coaching Skills

Build the coaching capability your organization already needs.

For HR leaders, people managers, and L&D professionals who want to expand internal coaching depth without always relying on external coaching resources. Both programs apply ICF-aligned coaching methodology grounded in behavioral science.

Leader as Coach

Build coaching capability so your leaders shift from directing to developing. Participants learn the skills to hold meaningful development conversations that surface potential, accelerate growth, and strengthen retention on their teams. A foundational shift from managing performance to coaching for it.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

HR as Coach

Develop your HR and people leaders as skilled internal coaches. Participants build coaching capability they apply immediately in their organizational roles, extending coaching depth across the business without expanding headcount. Designed for HR professionals who want to be a more strategic development resource.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment
06: Team Performance and Culture

Build the team behaviors that drive results.

For HR leaders and senior leaders investing in how their teams work together. These programs surface what's blocking performance and build the skills to fix it at the source.

Five Behaviors of a Team

Built on the Five Dysfunctions model. Surfaces the trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results gaps keeping your team from performing at the level the organization needs. Creates a shared language for the ongoing work of building a healthy team.

Expanding Innovative Thinking

The brain builds mental files over time, categories and patterns that become default filters for what's possible. This session uses neuroscience-based techniques to surface those filters and deliberately bypass them, opening space for ideas the team hasn't considered and building the habit of generating them systematically.

Possibility Acceleration

A team session that moves beyond incremental thinking and into transformative problem-solving. Built on AGL's Leadership Acceleration methodology, participants learn to recognize limiting "mental files," reframe barriers, and generate breakthrough thinking anchored in real organizational priorities.

07: Sales Performance

Build a team that sells the way buyers want to buy.

Sales training built on behavioral science and communication methodology, not scripts. For sales leaders whose teams need to build real buyer relationships, not just run a process.

The Neuroscience of Selling

Align your sales approach with what behavioral science says actually drives buyer decisions. Shifts the team from product-first to customer-first, building the consultative skills that convert conversations into long-term relationships rather than one-time transactions. Grounded in the same neuroscience and communication methodology behind the TacComm™ series.

Paired with validated behavioral assessment

Everybody Sells

Build commercial awareness and consultative communication skills across teams that don't carry a quota. Expands who contributes to revenue growth and how your non-sales people show up in conversations with customers and prospects every day.

Combine these programs with the TacComm™ series for a comprehensive communication and sales capability build.

08: Executive Offsite and Team Development

From half-day team sessions to multi-day executive retreats.

AGL designs and facilitates offsites and team development experiences built around your team's specific behavioral dynamics, strategic priorities, and performance gaps. Not generic activities. Purpose-built sessions that produce decisions, alignment, and momentum.

Executive Offsite Facilitation

Professional facilitation for leadership team offsites, strategic retreats, and annual planning sessions. AGL facilitators apply behavioral insight and communication methodology to ensure the day produces outcomes, not just discussion. Half-day through multi-day formats available.

Team Development Intensive

Purpose-built team sessions drawn from the full AGL workshop catalog and configured for your team's specific dynamics. AGL applies validated behavioral data before the session so the content targets the gaps that actually exist, not what the team thinks are the gaps.

Behavioral pre-work available

Team Building Experience

Structured team experiences rooted in AGL's communication, behavioral, and performance frameworks. More than activities, these sessions build the specific trust, candor, and collaboration patterns that show up in how your team operates after the day is over.

All offsite and team development programs draw from the full AGL workshop catalog. Sessions are designed around your team's behavioral profile, industry context, and performance objectives.
